Ammunition Registration Coming Soon to a City Near You!

DURHAM PROPOSAL MODELED ON ILLINOIS LAW

And so it begins...

Don't be fooled, by the fact that this is Durham. Yes we know, no bad
idea goes unconsidered by the public officials in Durham, but before
you dismiss this as being Durham's problem, consider this: getting it
passed in Durham is just the first step toward having the backing of
the Durham delegation introduce it into the General Assembly. Then it
will be a problem for all of us. Welcome to Illinois... but this is
still North Carolina, let's keep it that way.

REV. WHITLEY'S GRAND SCHEME

Rev. Melvin Whitley began peddling his so-called "bullet ownership
bill" a couple of years ago, but so far he has failed to find a
willing sponsor in the N.C. G.A. So, he tried the next logical step
for ill conceived gun control - Durham. Councilwoman Cora
Cole-McFadden and Councilman Howard Clement have expressed the intent
to add the bill to the legislative wish-list for 2009.

Under Whitley's proposal, you would have to obtain a permit from the
local sheriff before buying ammunition, in the same vein of pistol
purchase permits. It would also establish, "forbidden persons" who
would not be permitted to buy ammunition.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY OUT OF STATE COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS

Along with anti-gun luminaries such as N.C. Association of Community
Organizations for Reform Now, Parents of Murdered Children, the
People's Alliance, North Carolinians Against Gun Violence; you will
find none other than ACORN. Sound familiar? You may remember the
reports about ACORN's active voter fraud efforts during the recent
election. According to NBC-17 news, the Community Organizer for the
local NC ACORN group is none other than Rev. Melvin Whitley.

PASSAGE IN A YEAR?

The NBC-17 report contains this statement: "Whitley hopes to get the
bill passed in a year." Are you prepared to allow this to happen?

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED

* Contact the members of the Durham City Council and let them know
that this is not acceptable.

Dear City Leader:

Rev. Melvin Whitley's "Bullet Registration Bill" is a horrible idea
whose time should never come. I call upon you to quickly dismiss this
atrocity and forever ban it from your legislative wish list.

Is Durham planning to engage in harassing gun owners in the same
manner in which it conducted itself in the Duke Lacrosse affair? I
certainly hope not. The city cannot afford another public relations
disaster at this time. Do not embark on the wholesale alienation of a
large portion of law abiding citizens of North Carolina.

Sincerely,

A Concerned Voter
